Destroyer Francesco Mimbelli (D561). Behind her is Libeccio (F 572), a Maestrale-class frigate, and in the background are two San Giorgio-class LPDs - it looks like San Marco (L 9893) on the left, so San Giorgio (L 9892) must be on the right.

If only the previous administration didn't butchered/discontinued in the last minute our plans to buy 2 ex-Maestrale class plus around a hundred M113s and 155mm artys. The deal was almost complete and expectations was high from both sides until our govt STOPPED the deal in the last hour. AFAIK, even today the Italian government is still pissed off with the Philippine govt and military. So sad, we could have operated 2 Maestrales right now plus one additional per plan. Deymmm
